unfair trade
do i have this right? mark carney is trying to get trade deals all over the world and is ignoring local manufacturers trading with the u.s. now, 40% are thinking of moving to the states because of all the regulations, taxes, etc. we have a new bridge to enhance shipping, but does it make more sense to ship it to india, china or europe by boat? not only is it going to cost more, but with 40% thinking of leaving canada for the u.s., who will build it? so much for just in time.

snake bitten
liberal voters have to start questioning why they voted for mark carney, as he is travelling the world dancing with dangerous nations, securing trade agreements to avoid dealing with u.s. president donald trump, spending large sums of money which adds to our national debt, while the interest alone could build hospitals, schools, jails, etc. does he remind you of a snake oil salesman?

table scraps
why is it that almost every country in the world has been able to make a trade deal with the u.s. except for canada? counting on the republicans to suffer an electoral defeat in november seems to be carney’s only strategy. no one will invest in canada until economic certainty ensues. enough dithering and anti-donald trump rhetoric. get to the table and make a deal.
